BUTTON ATTACH M ENT.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 229,557, dated July 6,1880.

Application filed May 22, 1880. (No model.)

To all whom it main concern:

Be it known that I, FELIX J. ROSENBERG, a citizen of the United States,residing atthe city of New York, in the county and State of New York,have invented a new and useful Im provementin Button Attachments, ofwhich the following is a specification.

My improvement relates to devices for fastening buttons to garments, andthe object of my invention is to provide a cheap and economical device,by the means of which the use of thread and silk can be dispensed with,as hereinafter specifically described and claimed.

Referring to the drawings which accompany this specification, Figure 1represents an ordinary pant-aloons-button attached to a piece of fabricwith my improved device. Fig. 2 is a section thereof. Fig. 3 representsdetails of my improved pronged shoe-disk.

Similar letters of reference indicatelike parts on each figure.

A blank metallic shoe-disk, A, is cut of the shape shown in Fig.3,having extending prongs a, which are bent upward at right angles withthe face of the disk. These prongs are not directly opposite each other,but are located obliquely on the shoe, so that the point of one prongwill enter the hole I) of the button B, while the other will enter thehole I).

The prongs are first inserted in the rear side of the fabric to whichthe button is to be attached. The button is then placed on the frontsurface, the prongs or. entering within the respective holes b and b.The two prongs are then bent over flat against the face of the button B,and their points are turned down into the holes opposite the places ofentrance, thus completely fastening the button.

Any ordinary pliers or other tool can be used to turn over the prongsafter they have engaged within the holes I) and b.

Having now fully described my invention, what I claim is- 1. Thebutton-shoe disk A, having on its outer side edges two prongs, a,located relatively obliquely to each other, adapted to engage withinholes of a button and hold it in position on a garment, substantially asdescribed.

2. The button B, having cable-holes b b, in combination with a rearwardflat shoe-disk, A, having on its outer side edges two prongs, a, placedin relatively oblique positions on the outer side edges and turning upat right angles with the face of the disk, substantially as described.

3. The device for fastening buttons to garments, consisting of a rearflat disk, A, carrying on its opposite side edges two prongs, located inrelatively oblique positions, which may pass direct through the garmentand within buttonholes b b, and be returned into the holes oppositetheir respective entrance, by which the rear of the fabric to which theseveral parts are attached is bridged over with the fiat disk A, whilethe face of the button in front is confined by staples formed by turnsof the prongs a, substantially as described.
